A huge well done to our Cadets — Cpl Ultan Dempsey, Kate Doherty, Caoimhe Gilvarry, Eisha Granahan and Finn Mullaney — who proudly demonstrated their First Aid, Home Nursing and Foot Drill skills to their fellow students in Cooneal National School today as part of our Cadet fundraiser, “Wear Red Day”.

The cadets represented the organisation brilliantly and showcased the hard work, dedication and skills they continue to develop throughout the year.

A sincere thank you to Mr Eddie O’Hora and all the staff in Cooneal National School for their continued support once again this year in helping make our Cadet fundraising event such a success. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Proud to have members of Order of Malta Ireland Ballina Unit on duty early this morning supporting the incredible Darkness Into Light in Ballina.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, volunteered, and helped create such a positive and supportive atmosphere from the early hours. It was an honour for our team to provide first aid cover and support the community during this special event.

Thank you to all our volunteers for giving up their time and representing the unit with professionalism and compassion as always. ❤️

A fantastic day was had by all as our members Catherine and Keith attended the family fundraiser day for St. Nicholas’s School 🚑☀️

They proudly showcased our ambulance, giving everyone a chance to get up close and learn more about what we do. The weather couldn’t have been better, and there were some truly wonderful characters around on the day, making it an enjoyable and memorable event for everyone involved.

A big thank you to St. Nicholas’s School for having us – we were delighted to be part of such a great occasion!
